Introduction The ‘Antal Global Snapshot’ is a regular survey that determines hiring and firing intentions in some of the world’s key employment markets. Started in summer 2008, this fifteenth report in the series is based upon material sourced from over 10,500 organisations, in 40 key countries on five continents in commerce, industry and the financial services sector.
We hope you find it both interesting and useful.
Chairman and Founder Antal International About Antal International Antal International is a leading global search and selection specialist, which works with professional and managerial talent across the globe. Every day we help businesses all around the world find the rare talent they need to drive their success. We utilise our extensive global network to carry out cross border work and bring a unique perspective to the recruitment sector. We do this with over 500 experts, from 130 offices in more than 30 countries globally.
Methodology This edition of the ‘Antal Global Snapshot’ is based upon survey forms and telephone interviews completed by line managers and HR managers in 10,665 companies, professional partnerships and financial institutions across more than 40 countries in November and December 2013.
Each respondent was asked whether they were currently hiring or letting go of professional/managerial staff and whether they intended to do so over the coming quarter. All respondents were guaranteed anonymity to encourage open and honest answers.

THE ‘ANTAL GLOBAL SNAPSHOT’
Market stabilises
Overall global hiring figures at managerial and professional level are slightly down again. In June, Global Snapshot research found 54% of organisations across the world were currently hiring, however since then this has dropped slightly to 51%. So is this a sign that the comeback from the global recession isn’t as strong as we first thought?
We don’t think so. The news is awash with signs of positivity spilling from nations as diverse as China to Canada. The recovery of some of the world’s less stable economies is also promising. Ireland, for example, has shown encouraging signs of growth following a very difficult few years, while the Czech economy recorded the second highest current hiring levels in the world, indicating a possible return to prosperity for the Eurozone.
So if this is the case, why haven’t employment figures increased? Listening to reports from our global network of offices, we believe that many businesses are concentrating on remaining stable; they don’t want to risk a repeat of what happened following the collapse of Lehman Brothers. This means that organisations are being more considered when it comes to hiring and firing. Many are now recognising the significance of talent management and the importance (and value) of retaining professionals. This explains the drop in firing figures from the previous edition of the Snapshot. Currently, only 16% of the organisations questioned across the globe are letting go of staff, a 3% reduction from June 2013, and indicative of increasing steadiness in the global economy.
It will be interesting to see who makes the first move. Many companies may find themselves well-prepared for a return to prosperity and once patience wears thin and they begin to move forward again; we could see a real demand for professionals. Mexico, Indonesia, Nigeria and Turkey have recently been listed as four emerging economic giants, could it be them leading the way in the global talent battleground? While that remains to be seen, what we do know is the market is primed and ready for growth; it just needs someone to make the first move.

THE ‘ANTAL GLOBAL SNAPSHOT’
Expecting to Hire in the coming quarter
Interesting facts
China tops list for current hiring – 57% - With the second largest economy in the world it’s hardly surprising that China leads the way in current recruitment. We’re all aware of the intense growth the APAC giant has gone through and this is reflected in the extremely positive results shown in this edition of the Snapshot. Leading the way are the automotive and banking industries. Both have taken significant steps over the past few years to expand and in 2009 the Chinese car industry overtook the USA to become the biggest producer in the world and now manufactures more automobiles than the Americans and Japan combined. While this expansion has been impressive, Chinese businesses in this sector have recently been focusing on how to widen their markets and make the motor industry truly global. The encouraging employment figures could possibly be related to this as organisations look to recruit specialist talent who
possess the knowledge and experience to make this happen.
Robert Maguire, Managing Partner - Antal APAC Region
Middle East expected to hire most in next quarter - 64% - UAE is going through a period of phenomenal business growth. Dubai recently won its bid to host the World Expo and is now developing an enormous site to host the six-month long event in 2020. This is expected to attract over 25 million visitors from all over the world. Elsewhere, neighbouring Qatar will be hosting the World Cup in 2022 for which the state is preparing an enormous infrastructure. These high profile events combined with huge developments in Abu Dhabi and Saudi Arabia are the major economic growth drivers in the region. As a result of this investment the construction and property sector is back on track and there’s been significant money spent on developing the FMCG, services and manufacturing sectors. The regional airlines from this part of the world are also faring well, particularly Emirates, Etihad and Qatar Airways which are continuing to invest in expansion.
Nizar Lalani, Managing Partner - Antal Gulf Region
IT and Manufacturing 2nd and 3rd globally. What a difference a year makes. This time last year there was a lot of doubt around the economy and this was most certainly felt in the manufacturing sector. Many companies were hesitant to invest in new talent and in many cases they looked internally to fill the positions. As the year progressed it was quite obvious that confidence was beginning to return and vacancies were becoming more prevalent within the sector. What hasn’t changed is that the market place for good manufacturing management and technical skills is still very much candidate driven. The turmoil caused by the recessive period has led to a migration of skills from one sector to another depending on where the demand was. A perfect example of this is the automotive sector. It lost a huge number of employees to medical devices, aerospace and other manufacturing sectors, only to need them all back and more. The
sector has boomed in the last year and the larger OEM’s are sucking up the talent from their supply chains, which obviously isn’t sustainable. The solution to this is to know where the transferrable skills exist and how to source them, which is where we come in. Lee Narraway, Managing Partner - Antal Warrington, UK
Egypt has the highest planned recruitment for next quarter – 74% - Perhaps the most impressive results from this edition of the Snapshot have come from Egypt. The country, which has been gripped by civil unrest since the Arab Spring of 2011, has recorded the highest levels of planned recruitment for the next quarter indicating renewed optimism in the economy and soon to be elected government. Parliamentary and presidential elections are planned for the first quarter of 2014 with referendums expected that will alter political military, human rights and religious laws to hopefully create more stability in the North African nation. These figures could ultimately be even more impressive as Egypt is notorious for having millions of undocumented workers.
Ahmed Saleh, Managing Partner - Antal Egypt
Africa region has the lowest current firing rate – 12% - Africa has been considered by many commentators to be the poor relation to other emerging markets, such as APAC and Latin America, when it comes to employment potential. However this appears as if it could be about to change. The continued development of infrastructure combined with the increased use of technology in fields like banking and telecommunications and the effective exploitation of natural resources has meant that many African nations are now not only looking to hire staff, but also retain them. Currently only 8% of businesses in South Africa and Nigeria are letting go of talent, significantly below the global average. While this figure is encouraging, much of the retention could be attributed to a lack of experienced and qualified professionals who possess international experience being available. It comes as no surprise that South
Africa, as the largest market on the continent, possesses the joint best staff retention levels. Tied in first place with them is Nigeria, one of the fastest growing economies in the world and recently listed as one of the ‘MINT’ nations by Goldman Sachs’ Jim O’Neill. What this means is the second largest continent in the world could soon have two major global economies, further cementing its growth potential. Results from other key African countries also indicate optimism in the markets, highlighting the potential that Africa has to grow, as a staggering 70% of businesses reported they are currently hiring.

The local picture from Western Europe
Western Europe reported stable results on the whole as 35% of organisations are currently hiring. While this is below the global average of 51%, the figures are relatively positive given the Eurozone’s long-standing problems, as the rate at which companies are letting go of talent is in line with the worldwide trend. Future stability is predicted as both hiring and firing are expected to remain level in the next quarter.

Austria
Belgium
Denmark
33% 43% 38%
29%
The job market is currently faring well in Austria. The percentage of companies currently firing at managerial and professional level has dropped from 48% down to 31% while anticipated staff losses are also down 7% from January 2013’s figures indicating increased confidence in the economy. While hiring has dropped off, these figures can indicate a return to normal business levels for companies in Austria as they look to stabilise in the wake of problems in the Eurozone.
28% 33% 31% 22%
36% 23%
45% 27%
The percentage of companies expecting to hire has dropped since the previous edition of the Snapshot however the number of companies letting staff go, and expecting to, in the next quarter has also been reduced. Currently 38% of organisations are actively firing, representing a drop of 16% from the previous figures, whilst there’s been a 3% drop in organisations expecting to let professionals go in the next quarter. However, on a more positive note, more than half of the companies questioned are hiring or are expecting to hire in the coming months.
The employment market in Denmark is showing promising signs of growth as the number of companies letting people go at managerial and professional level has dropped significantly since January 2013. Currently 45% of Danish organisations are reducing their staff numbers; however this represents a drop of 19% from the figures in January 2013. The outlook remains positive for the coming quarter as just 23% are intending to let people go, a fall of 12% since the previous edition of the Snapshot.
France
53% 53% 42% 35%
Hiring levels have jumped significantly over the past year in France as 53% of organisations are currently hiring and expect to hire in the next quarter. This is a huge improvement of 15% in current recruitment and a 12% growth in anticipated employment. It also represents a score 2% higher than the global average and 18% above the average for Western Europe. Currently more companies are letting go of people than this time six months ago, where a 4% increase has been seen.

Germany
The German employment market has shown signs of progress as the nation’s economy continues to thrive in comparison to its EU partners. The percentage of companies currently letting staff go is down 5% from this point in June 2013, whilst the level of organisations currently hiring has remained stable from January 2013. These figures should be set to improve as the country looks to drive reform in the EU, and the ECB (European Central Bank) looks set to hire 1,000 extra banking staff in Frankfurt in the coming months.
30% 26% 11% 9%
Italy
41% 33% 15% 13%
The outlook in Italy continues to improve as 41% of organisations are currently hiring, a 7% improvement on Snapshot results from January 2013. In other positive results, only 15% of organisations are currently reducing their staff, 1% below the global average, and predicted to drop a further 2% in the next three months. A third of the companies surveyed are expecting to hire in the coming quarter, showing similar figures to the previous two Snapshots.
Netherlands
38% 44%
20% 20%
Figures from The Netherlands show increased activity in almost all areas. The number of companies currently hiring has risen steeply up to 38%, a 6% improvement on the June 2013 Snapshot and representing a vast improvement on the 22% predicted in the last edition. Increased hiring is also expected in the next quarter as 44% are expecting to take on new professionals, representing a growth of 16%.
Portugal
37% 29% 39%
26%
As the Portuguese business environment continues its sluggish improvement, the number of companies expecting to get rid of staff has dropped since the previous edition of the Snapshot. Currently 39% are actively losing staff, 5% less than projected in June 2013. It’s predicted that this figure will significantly drop in the coming quarter as just 26% of organisations are expecting to let staff go. Figures have remained relatively stable when it comes to hiring as 37% are currently hiring, the same as six months ago, while 29% are expected to hire in the next 3 months.

Spain
Switzerland
Recruitment in Spain has stayed at a relatively stable level as around a third of organisations are currently hiring, a similar figure to those reported in the previous two Snapshots. More optimism is seen in the firing figures as just 25% are currently letting staff go, down 11% on previous predictions made in June 2013. More stability is expected in the next quarter as 23% are looking to hire, while only 20% are expecting to lose staff.
27% 23% 25% 20%

The Snapshot of the Swiss employment market has returned positive results as firing levels drop significantly from June 2013. Currently, 26% are firing at a managerial and professional level, a 14% drop from 6 months ago. Hiring has remained relatively stable with around half (47%) recruiting, 3% less than was expected. In the coming quarter 37% of companies are predicting they will take on senior level staff.
United Kingdom
56% 49% 41% 28%
Hiring levels in the UK are optimistic as 56% of organisations are currently recruiting, a 3% increase on the prediction made in June 2013 and in line with positive results found by the CBI (The Confederation of British Industry) at the end of the year. This is expected to remain stable in the coming months as 49% are expecting to recruit at a managerial and professional level in the next quarter. In other results, the percentage of companies letting staff go remained at 41%, the same level as the last edition of the Snapshot in June 2013. This is expected to drop to 28% in the first three months of 2014.
41% 43%
73%
39%
Employment levels in the Nordic countries continue to be inconsistent as results highlight the ever changing market. Currently 41% of organisations are hiring in the region, which represents a drop from figures shown in June 2013. These numbers may have been affected by reports from Norway that the government was raiding oil funds to prop up the economy, a concerning sign for any business looking to invest. However, the instability within the job market looks set to end, as predictions for the coming quarter see firing rates return to a normal level from the spike experienced in some Nordic countries over the past year.

Czech Republic
37% 34%
12% 20%
As with many other Eastern-European countries, the Bulgarian job market is faring well as 54% of companies are currently hiring at managerial and professional level. These results are well ahead of predictions made in the June 2013 Snapshot where 30% reported they would be hiring in the next quarter. Current firing levels have dropped significantly with 22% reporting they are losing staff at the moment; this represents a drop of 8% from the previous edition.
54% 45%
22% 17%

43% 35%
Employment levels in Croatia have remained healthy as only 12% of organisations are currently letting people go. While this represents a 3% growth since June it is still remarkably low, 4% lower than the global average. In an economy populated by micro-companies, it’s also encouraging to see hiring levels stabilise at 37%. This is expected to remain at around the same level in the next quarter.
The Czech employment market has maintained its strength shown in the previous two editions of the Snapshot as 65% of organisations are currently hiring. This is well above the European average and represents the second highest global score, behind the booming Chinese economy. These results are in line with predictions made in June 2013 and indicate that growth should continue as 57% report they will be hiring in the next quarter. The rest of the employment market is also extremely active as 43% of businesses are currently letting professional level staff go. This number is expected to drop in the coming months.
24% 28% 16% 13%
Hungary
Hungarian recruitment levels are relatively low as 24% of organisations are currently hiring. However, this is expected to grow by 4% in the next quarter, reflecting the improvement in the much troubled economy. Firing levels have dropped to 16% from 18% in the June Snapshot. This represents a total reduction of 5% from the January 2013 edition and is in line with the global average.

Poland
Romania
44% 48%
20% 25%
The European Union’s largest Eastern economy continued to show signs of growth as 64% of companies are currently hiring at managerial and professional level. This increased recruitment activity is expected to continue into the next quarter with 63% indicating they will be hiring. These results represent an increase of 12% in current hiring levels and 15% in anticipated future employment, reflecting the optimism shown in the Polish markets. This positivity will be warmly greeted in the country after thousands of protesters marched through Warsaw in September demanding action against Prime Minister Donald Tusk’s government for failing to tackle unemployment. Firing levels in Poland have dipped below the global average and are expected to remain stable in the coming quarter.
64% 63%
13% 14%
Recruitment activity has remained at a relatively stable level in Romania as 44% of organisations are currently hiring, a reduction of just 4% on June’s Snapshot figures. Hiring in the next quarter is expected to return to the same level as June 2013, while just 20% of employers are currently letting staff go, a reduction of 11%. This is expected to rise slightly over the next three months as 25% of businesses are planning redundancies at managerial and professional level.
Russia
56% 47%
38% 21%
The employment market in Russia remains active with 56% of businesses currently hiring staff. This is above the global average figure and shows encouraging signs for the increasingly important economy. This optimism looks set to continue in the coming quarter as 47% report they will be hiring in the next few months. Firing levels have remained at a stable level, although this is set to drop to 21% in the next quarter, representing increasing stability in the economy.
41% 36%
64% 45%
The Turkish employment market continues to contract as disappointing results are shown for the second Snapshot in a row. Current hiring levels are down 9% from June 2013 while anticipated hiring has dropped by 17%. The percentage of organisations currently firing professional and managerial staff stands at 64%, however, this is expected to drop down to 45% in the next quarter, bringing the figure somewhat closer to the regional average. Much of this negativity in the economy can be traced back to the ongoing corruption scandal currently hitting the Eurasian nation.

The local picture from the Middle East & Africa
The Middle East & Africa region reported positive results on the whole, in part due to a number of Middle East countries performing above expectations. When taken as an average, the figures highlight optimism in the markets. Currently 50% of organisations are hiring, while only 14% are letting talent go. These results are expected to grow substantially in the next quarter as 56% of businesses have reported they will hire in the coming months with only 10% shrinking their staff numbers, highlighting the growth that many MEA business owners are expecting to experience.

18% 7%
The Egyptian employment market remains healthy as results indicate growth from this time last year. Currently 55% of employers are hiring at managerial and professional level, up 4% from the January 2013 Snapshot. This figure is expected to rise to a staggering 74% over the next quarter as organisations look to strengthen their ranks in the New Year. This is made even more impressive when the ongoing civil war is taken into account. Current firing levels continue to drop down to 26% from 44% in January 2013, a figure that is expected to remain flat into the New Year.

Recruitment activity has dropped slightly in Qatar as 48% of employers say they’re currently looking to recruit, a 4% reduction from figures recorded in the June 2013 Snapshot and slightly below the anticipated level. However, this could improve in the future, as results indicate 59% of businesses will be looking to recruit managerial level talent in the next three months. Firing remains low, and is expected to drop further, as the country’s businesses look to hold on to professionals, possibly to meet the demand for the high-profile projects coming up in the Arab state, such as the World Cup 2022.
The Saudi Arabian job market has indicated promising signs of growth as recruitment levels are well above those shown in the June 2013 Snapshot. Currently 51% of employers are hiring, an 8% increase from the June figures and in line with those predicted in that edition. Anticipated hiring has also increased as 66% of organisations are expecting to recruit in the coming three months. Firing levels have continued to remain low as just 19% of organisations are currently letting go of talent, 6% below the score recorded in January 2013.
United Arab Emirates
57% 63%
13% 6%
Employment levels within the United Arab Emirates have shown healthy signs of growth from the previous two editions of the Snapshot. Currently 57% of organisations are hiring, an increase of 13% from June 2013. This figure is expected to rise to 63% in the next quarter. Firing levels in the UAE continue to fall, down to 13%, a 16% drop from January 2013. This is predicted to decrease to 6% in the next quarter, representing a score 9% below the global average.

Recruitment in Ghana proved stagnant in 2013 as the running battle over President Mahama’s legitimacy as leader of the African nation impacted the job market. Current recruitment dropped to 20%, although as the country stabilises this is expected to rise by 10%. Firing has also fallen 20%, and is expected to half again over the next quarter indicating increased optimism in the economy in 2014.

The employment market in Nigeria continues to show signs of growth as 54% of organisations are currently hiring, 3% above the national average and expected to remain stable in the next quarter. This positivity comes off the back of the news that Nigeria has been listed as one of the ‘MINT’ countries, by Goldman Sachs’ Jim O’Neill, an indication of the potential of its emerging economy. Firing levels have dropped significantly to 23%, a reduction of 27% year-on-year, and are expected to drop to 8% over the coming months.
After posting extremely positive results for the past two Snapshots, the South African job market has dropped slightly as 43% of organisations say they are currently hiring, a reduction of 4% year-on-year. This is expected to grow to 44% in the next quarter while current firing levels stay at 9% and are expected to remain flat in the next three months, indicating increasing stability within the market.
Employment markets in some other parts of Africa are faring well as 70% of businesses report they are currently hiring at managerial and professional level. This is a rise of 4% on the figures from the June 2013 Snapshot and is well above the global average (51%). The percentage of organisations letting go of staff has dropped by 5%, however this is predicted to grow significantly in the next quarter. Current firing levels are 4% lower than the worldwide trend.

14% 16%
The Chinese employment market remains extremely strong as the country’s economy continues to expand. There’s been a growth of 12% in companies currently hiring, the highest global figure found in this year’s Snapshot. This is expected to remain stable over the course of the next three months as 62% of businesses say they’re expecting to hire over this period. Firing levels remain low at 20%, although this is also expected to rise in the next quarter.
The percentage of organisations currently hiring has remained stable from the January 2013 Snapshot as 38% of companies reported they are actively employing at a managerial and professional level. In other results, 39% of businesses say they will be hiring in the coming quarter, representing a drop of 4% year-on-year. The most positive news to come from India is that only 14% of organisations are currently letting people go at managerial and professional level, half the figures reported in the June 2013 edition.
Japan
27% 36%
18% 9%
Japan’s economy continues to display strong signs of growth as just 18% of businesses are currently firing staff, a reduction of 19% from January 2013. Elsewhere, the results show stability as over a quarter of companies are actively hiring at a managerial and professional level at the moment. This figure is expected to rise to 36% for the next quarter, in line with the positive results shown by some of Japan’s neighbouring countries.

Recruitment activity in Malaysia is in line with the global average as 51% of companies in the country are currently hiring.
